child or young person whose safety and wellbeing are the responsibility of the territory. To allow the official visitor access to these premises, the requirement to publish the address of children and young people must be removed from the legislation.
Proposed new clause 21A agreed to.
Clauses 22 to 25, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Proposed new clause 25A.
MR GENTLEMAN (Brindabella—Minister for Planning, Minister for Roads and Parking, Minister for Workplace Safety and Industrial Relations, Minister for Children and Young People and Minister for Ageing) (6.15): I move amendment No 12 circulated in my name which inserts a new clause 25A [see schedule 6 at page 2143].
This amendment is required to accommodate the staged implementation of procured services under the strategy “a step up for our kids”. There will be an overlap between current contracts and new contracts to enable the planned transition of children and young people from one service to another if this is required. This means that organisations which have been approved as suitable entities under the current legislation will continue to provide services for a period of time after the commencement of the bill. It affects foster care and residential care services, and the amendment is necessary to support the planned transition of service providers and prevent an abrupt oversight change for the children and young people in those services.
Proposed new clause 25A agreed to.
Clause 26 agreed to.
Clause 27.
MR GENTLEMAN (Brindabella—Minister for Planning, Minister for Roads and Parking, Minister for Workplace Safety and Industrial Relations, Minister for Children and Young People and Minister for Ageing) (6.16): I move amendment No 13 circulated in my name [see schedule 6 at page 2145].
The amendment was made in response to issues raised by the scrutiny of bills committee. However, as the government has now agreed to an amendment put forward by Ms Lawder to this subsection, the amendment to the dictionary is no longer needed.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 27, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 28 to 31, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
